Skillspeed might suck, but it really only sucks for TP loss. your main stat is too good to pass up in most instances, ecept in crafted gear, for the most part.

TP is NOT the reason why SS sucks for Ninja. Like I've said many times before, in situations where you're gonna have TP issues, you're gonna TP issues, SS does NOT change that by any significant amount.

The REAL reason why SS sucks for Ninja is because it makes your Ninjutsu less efficient. The efficiency of your Ninjutsu is determined by your global divided by the amount of time you cut into your global. Doing this will tell you how many globals are lost due to the cutting. SS both reduce your global AND it increases the amount of time you cut into your global (due to you getting your global back faster), making it a double whammy. Yea SS really sucks, avoid it at all cost; its probably almost as bad as Spell Speed is for SMN.

In fact, if you have too much SS or take too long to cast Raiton, it may entirely be better to use Fuma Shuriken instead. The calculations for when Fuma is better is simple so I won't spell it out.

My mudras dont cut into my GCD by any significant margin; I get only a slight delay doing 3 step mudras. I'll agree that with latency it cuts into it, but it's still a DPS increase on the GCD per point, like it is for everyone else ;-;

Skill speed is a pretty garbage stat for Ninja. Not to mention it loses value everytime you are unable to chain an attack.
